Default Very short with sc UTG

This is from the daily 15k. I'm so short because I lost shoving 10bbs with J7s into bb with 7bbs who instacalled with Q9s then doubling my tiny stack with K9 > A7 but blinds just increased and i haven't had a chance to shove since that double up. Should I shove here and hopefully get dead money from the blinds or call with any two from bb next hand?

#1 the SB is probably never folding.
#2 your stack represents a good chunk of BB's, so he might fold regardless of being priced in to call.
#3 you're sooooooted.

i'd go with this one.

I just ran a pokerstove calc on this and if I get it in against a top 10% hand against anyone other than the bb I'm getting basically the right odds (just under 2-1 when I'm slightly worse than 2-1 in the 10k sidepot and obviously have some equity in the 3.5k main pot including sb's hand).

I think it's very close as often i will get it in against only the bb or against a hand stronger than top 10% but even then I'm not sure if it's more -EV than calling next hand with ATC.

Something that occured to me just as I was about to post this was that there is a good chance the sb gets knocked out this hand if I fold, meaning I would miss the bb because of the way stars handles that situation. I'm not sure exactly how this should affect my decision but it probably makes a fold slightly better as I might have a very small amount of FE left, or possibly still have to option to fold trash on my sb and wait for something half decent.

This is really close - If you had 1BB less I'd instashove ATC. I think here it depends on the table somehow. If playing is very tight I'd might let this one go, cause you would still have some FE with 4BB - no wait it's PS - so we have 125 antes right?

Forget it and push, another blind round totally cripples you.

Ante is only 75 because the 15k uses the old blind structure but I think even a 75 ante just about makes it a shove although it's definitely very close.
